[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the plan when your contract is up?[/quote]

In a year, our student loans will be paid off.  We'll have enough to keep about 6 months of expenses in savings and put the rest on a home somewhere inexpensive.  We have a strict budget that we stick to -- I pack my lunches, for instance.  At that point, I'll downgrade career and earnings-wise but enjoy much better hours.  Because we plan to buy somewhere less expensive than the immediate DC area, we'll be able to afford the payments easily on less HHI.  Just need to save the downpayment and get out of debt first.[/quote]

This sounds like a good plan but I did the same thing with my oldest and I honestly regret it.  She didn't get anywhere near the time with me that my second got and I feel bad about it.  She obviously loves me but I feel she is closer to her dad because he was around more.  I recognize that can change as she gets older though.  If it's a situation where you have no choice, you just have to push through.  Fortunately I got to work part time with the second kid. [/quote]
